Abstract (en)

The present invention is related to an integrated optical circuit (110), in particular, to an optical-field writable array, as well as to methods for its manufacturing and reconfiguring. The integrated optical circuit (110) comprises at least one nanophotonic device and at least one photonic wire (150), wherein the nanophotonic device comprises a substrate (112) equipped with at least one reception (116) for at least one external connector (118), wherein the reception (116) is coupled to at least one connector waveguide (124), and at least one set of nano-optic components, wherein the nano-optic component is one of a nanophotonic waveguide (126) or a nanophotonic component (130), wherein the nanophotonic component (130) is nano-optically coupled to at least one nanophotonic waveguide (126), wherein at least one of the nanophotonic waveguides (126) is selectively coupleable to at least one of the connector waveguides (124), wherein the photonic wire (150) connects at least one of the nanophotonic waveguides (126) to at least one of the connector waveguides (124).
